The raid on former AKI chief Koci's house: Protect information found during the raid, if misused, it could affect Kosovo's national security

The noted lawyer, Arianan Koci, has stated that raiding the home of the former AKI director, the Smajt Union, by the Special, is a development that requires careful reflection.

Through a Facebook post, Koci said full respect for legal procedures is essential for preserving the principles of a democratic and functional state.

“However, from the perspective of national security, my main concern is to ensure that any sensitive or classified information that may eventually have been found during the raid, and that there is no connection to the criminal case, remains protected. Such information, if misused, could affect Kosovo's national security”, Koci wrote.

He said it is vital to maintain strategic co-operation and communications with international partners, at any cost, in the field of intelligence.

“Kosovo Intelligence Agency is a key pillar of our national security, and the preservation of its integrity, as well as the trust of our citizens and partners, should remain an absolute priority”, Koci added.

The raid on the home of former director of the Kosovo Intelligence Agency (AKI), with court rulings and positive laws, is a development that requires careful reflection.

Full respect for legal procedures is essential for preserving the principles of a democratic and functional state.

However, from the perspective of national security, my main concern is to ensure that any sensitive or classified information that could have been found exclusively during the raid, and that there is no connection with the criminal case, remains protected.

Such information, if misused, could affect Kosovo's national security.

I have full confidence that the respective institutions will act with caution and responsibility to avoid any such danger.

Likewise, it is vital that we maintain our strategic co-operation and communications with international partners in the field of intelligence at all costs.

These relations are of particular importance to the stability and security of our country and should not be harmed in any way!

The Kosovo Intelligence Agency is a key pillar of our national security, and the preservation of its integrity, as well as the trust of our citizens and partners, should remain an absolute priority.

This moment must serve as a lesson to further strengthen classified information protection protocols and maintain trust in our institutions.
